[FACT-1475] facter returns wrong ipv6 information when IPV6 stack is disabled - Puppet Tickets

Details

Release Notes:
Bug Fix
Release Notes Summary:
Facter correctly validates the ip command's output for the ipv6 family. If the ip command's output is invalid (e.g. if it contains ipv4 info.), then Facter ignores it.

ipv6 is disabled but facter is still showing ipv6 facts with ipv4 address
